Coal was made out of the ancient plants, 300 million years ago, even before dinosaurs, when huge plants started sedimentation in swamps. In millions of years that followed, mud was frothed over remains, transforming in that process huge heat in to a pressure, and all these factors combined gave ideal conditions for coal's "birthing place".

Electricity from Coal - Power Scorecard

Coal is the solid end-product of millions of years of decomposition of organic materials. In truth, coal is stored solar energy. Plants capture the energy from sunlight through photosynthesis, which directly converts solar energy to plant matter.

Coke (fuel) - Wikipedia

Coke is a fuel with a high carbon content and few impurities, usually made from coal.It is the solid carbonaceous material derived from destructive distillation of low-ash, low-sulphur bituminous coal.
